Monday's Nail Art for Short Nails

Lately more often than I would normally like I have been rocking some nubbin nails but they have really started to grow on me. A friend pointed me in the direction of an awesome collaboration of bloggers that every Monday create a post dedicated for the nubby challenged nails which is perfect to get me more comfortable with my new length. For this mani I decided to keep it pretty simple but I think the simplicity adds to the dramatic effect.

I started off with two coats of Loreal She's So Matte and then stamped using Color Club Twiggie and Cult Nails Tempest over it. I used the Bundle Monster Holiday set to create some zombie nails perfect for Halloween and the Walking Dead episode last night but mostly perfect for me because I LOOOOOVVVEEEE zombies!!! For the accent nail I put on Tempest and Twiggie and the same time and just carefully scraped. It's almost impossible not to get the colors to mix a little but either way I still love the haunting effect of the green zombie flesh over a matte black.
